Bespoke kitchen design
FENIX NTM is the soft-touch, ultra-matt surface finish. JS DECO designs and manufactures the bespoke cabinetry beneath it in our UK workshop.
Developed in Italy by Arpa Industriale, it offers a distinctive finish for clients who want contemporary cabinetry with a matt appearance.
We combine this finish with high-quality Blum hardware, including a servo drive system and a wide choice of drawers and pull-outs.
Plywood-core carcases offer a durable construction option. The design can also incorporate premium Bertazzoni appliances from our range or appliances selected by you.

The FENIX finish
Developed for interior applications, FENIX NTM combines a distinctive matt appearance with practical surface properties. It offers a different visual and tactile character from ceramic and acrylic finishes.
Its restrained finish complements contemporary kitchens and natural materials.
For example, it may be mixed with natural veneers and different types of solid wood finished with wax, oil, lacquer or varnish. It can also be combined with our metallic, Beton, ceramic-clad kitchens, and stone-finished elements.
FENIX NTM is used for horizontal and vertical interior surfaces, including kitchen and bathroom furniture, worktops, shutters, doors and walls, as well as hospitality and healthcare interiors.
Cabinet construction
FENIX is the surface finish; the core and construction are specified separately.
We can manufacture doors and end panels in plywood and MDF core options.
Depending on the agreed budget and specification, carcases can be made from:
Each core is available in a range of finishes.
Cabinetry is made to measure in our workshop, with 18mm or 20mm panels and flexible widths, heights and depths.
This flexibility allows us to resolve practical layouts and individual details for homeowners, architects and interior designers.

Surface performance
Four defining surface benefits, supported by the manufacturer’s current guidance.
Low light reflectivity gives FENIX NTM its distinctive matt appearance.
A smooth tactile finish for contemporary kitchen doors and surfaces.
The surface helps reduce the visibility of fingerprints; regular cleaning is still needed.
Thermal healing may address superficial micro-scratches when the manufacturer’s procedure applies. It does not repair every scratch or type of damage.
Performance varies with the grade, thickness, core, fabrication and installation. Check the current technical data for the product supplied.
FENIX is not scratch-proof. Use chopping boards and check the supplied grade’s technical data.
Resistance is tested under specific conditions. Use heat protection and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
Check antibacterial and mould-resistance test documentation for the supplied grade. These properties do not replace regular cleaning or constitute a health guarantee.
Confirm the appropriate certification and intended use for the actual material supplied.
Self-supporting applications depend on panel thickness, spans, supports and the agreed installation.
Refer to the supplied material’s technical documentation for applicable performance.
Review physical samples in your room’s lighting and check the supplied finish’s technical data.
Performance depends on the material, construction and protection of edges and cut-outs.
Follow the manufacturer’s care guidance. Surface water repellence does not make MDF, plywood cores, joints or the complete kitchen waterproof.
Temperature, humidity, construction and installation conditions need to be considered for the supplied product.
See the FENIX technical documentation and manufacturer’s care guidance for product-specific requirements.
Material combinations
We manufacture each kitchen in our workshop and select its construction, components and finishes around your specification.
FENIX surfaces can be combined with:
Choose handles or a handleless layout, with storage and detailing developed around your room and agreed requirements.
FENIX NTM is also available for selected bespoke wardrobe and freestanding furniture projects.
For the supplied material’s performance and maintenance requirements, see the FENIX technical documentation and manufacturer’s care guidance.
Worktop options
A FENIX NTM kitchen can be paired with a range of worktop materials. FENIX-faced worktops offer a coordinated matt finish; available colours and construction are checked for your project.
Plywood-based worktops can be specified from 18mm to 40mm thick, with a matching PVC edge or a protected, exposed plywood edge. The core, edges and cut-outs need appropriate protection from moisture.
A 12mm solid compact laminate option is also available, fabricated to suit the agreed layout.
The compact laminate itself is water-resistant. Undermounted sinks and draining channels may be possible with the appropriate specification and fabrication. Joints, cut-outs, supports and installation must follow the manufacturer’s requirements; this is not a waterproof guarantee for the complete kitchen.
Door construction
Version based on the plywood core with an exposed narrow edge showing the natural panel structure. Clear lacquer finishes and protects the exposed plywood edge.
Manufactured on the basis of an 18mm moisture-resistant MDF core. The narrow edge in that option is finished with matching or contrasting PVC finishing edging, giving a uniform finish.
For a more industrial appearance, 18mm birch plywood is laminated with FENIX NTM and its edges finished with three coats of matching matt water-resistant paint.
Furniture budget
Cabinetry from £18,000+
A defined furniture budget helps us recommend the construction, storage and detailing that suit your priorities.
Room size, cabinet and drawer count, internal fittings, door core, edge finish and technical complexity all affect the specification.
FENIX is the surface finish; the cabinetry beneath it is tailored to your project.
Worktops, appliances, delivery and installation are not included in the cabinetry starting budget. We agree their scope separately.
